Yep. BTDT.  Sometimes I revisit this behavior just to keep my clown handled
dirk from getting too rusty.  However, too much silliness is like a steady diet
of sweets; it tends to fatten, dull the senses, and become tasteless after a
while.  Better results can sometimes be had if one sticks to just desserts and
not just desserts.

May you get failing grades!  :-) I sometimes wish Agent had an automatic
scarlet "A.H." that attached to posts from people who habitually use (boring)
pointless personal attacks.  A proper attack should have a point, so that it
can be twisted when the opponent is stuck on it and refuses to concede it's
presence.  In contrast, I see more and more usenet attackers falling upon their
own swords, not out of discouragement or remorse, but because their swords are
too broad and too dull, and they are so clumsy in their attacks that they trip
and fall, publicly skewering themselves.

Never had the nose for farming pigs, but there have been stranger things that
Vermonters have farmed.  True story - Back in the 1800s, when patent medicines
were the rage, one enterprising couple in my hometown raised skunks for a
component in their miracle cure.  They were considered odd, and were social
outcasts except on days when neighbors could stand upwind, but they were still
respected members of the community.  Seems like some people on usenet today
have lost that couple's concept of creating something healing or helpful to
others, and only want to raise the stink.  >-p
